WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- <\/strong>Has the Trum<\/strong>p administration sounded the death knell for USAID?<\/strong> All signs from the US\u2019 Oval Office seem to indicate that the embattled US Agency for International Development (USAID) is rapidly approaching a reckoning, with US President Donald Trump describing USAID to reporters Sunday as \u201crun by radical lunatics\u201d and the head of the Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk referring to it as a \u201ccriminal organization\"<\/a> and a \u201cradical-left political psy op\u201d<\/a> in separate posts on X. Meanwhile, the agency\u2019s website has gone down, with some of its top officials put on leave as doubt swirls about USAID \u2014 and its funding\u2019s \u2014 future, the Financial Times<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

One possible endgame could involve the US State Department absorbing USAID<\/strong> \u2014 a scenario that would likely cause hefty budget cuts that would slash funding for global assistance programs. \u201cI would be absolutely for, if that\u2019s the path we go down, removing USAID as a separate department, and having it fall under\u2026other parts of the United States\u2026because of its failure,\u201d Republican Chair of the US House of Representatives\u2019 foreign affairs committee Brian Mast told CBS\u2019s Face the Nation (watch, runtime: 4:08<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What does this mean for Egypt?<\/strong> Although Trump\u2019s 90-day halt<\/a> on foreign aid exempted Egypt and Israel to allow them to continue to receive military aid, other programs that the US funds in Egypt \u2014 including USAID scholarships for Egyptians at home and abroad \u2014 were completely cut off by the order. A total of 1.1k Egyptian students on USAID-funded scholarships have been left without funding<\/a> to continue their education, with some even facing housing insecurity. Universities and the Higher Education Ministry have stepped in by covering the tuition of 877 students, though students who had been about to enroll were not included in the support package.<\/p>\n

<\/a> #2- More vessels start passing through the Red Sea: <\/strong>The Liberian crude oil tanker Chrysalis passed through the Suez Canal yesterday for the first time since being targeted in a Houthi attack last July, according to a statement<\/a> from the Suez Canal Authority. \u201cThe return of the tanker to transit through the Suez Canal is a strong message of reassurance regarding the positive developments towards the return of stability to the Red Sea region,\u201d SCA head Osama Rabie said. <\/p>\n

Remember, traffic is picking up through the canal, albeit very slowly<\/strong>, with reports out last week that six US- and UK-linked ships passed through the Red Sea safely<\/a> since 19 January, after Yemen\u2019s Houthis announced they would only target Israeli-linked vessels following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. However, six ships is just a drop in the bucket when compared to traffic the canal was used to, with shipping giants such as Maersk, MSC, and Mitsui OSK still avoiding the Red Sea, citing security risks.<\/p>\n

FROM THE DEBT MARKETS-<\/p>\n

<\/a> The central bank sold USD 1.06 bn worth of one-year USD-denominated T-bills <\/strong>yesterday, at an average yield of 4.25%, according to data on its website<\/a>. The issuance coincides with a similar amount of T-bills set to mature next week, with a yield of 5.1%.<\/p>\n

<\/a> Foreign Minist<\/strong>er <\/strong>Badr Abdelatty<\/strong> is in Turkey toda<\/strong>y to d<\/strong>iscuss bilateral relations<\/strong> with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement<\/a> yesterday. The talks will cover cooperation across multiple areas as well as regional developments.<\/p>\n

Abdelatty isn\u2019t the only Arab official landing in Turkey today: <\/strong>Syria's new Interim President Ahmed Al Sharaa will be in Ankara today, where he will discuss the latest developments in Syria with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the head of comms at the Turkish presidency said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abdelatty has a busy week ahead: <\/strong>The minister is set to travel to India later this week \u2014 in what will be his first visit to the country since his appointment last year \u2014 to partake in the first Indian-Egyptian strategic dialogue, India\u2019s Hindustan Times<\/a> reports, citing people it says are familiar with the matter. The discussions will focus on regional developments and strengthening diplomatic ties.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s flurry of executive orders is still the primary focus of international news headlines this <\/strong>morning<\/strong>, from delaying tariffs to creating a new US sovereign fund, to latest updates on the campaign targeting US foreign aid.<\/p>\n

Crisis averted (for now): <\/strong>North American leaders managed to reach last-minute agreements with Trump, postponing tariffs on Canada and Mexico for 30 days, pending negotiations. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will deploy technology and manpower to curb the flow of immigration and fentanyl across the border, while Mexico\u2019s Sheinbaum is deploying 10k National Guard troops to \u201cstop drug trafficking from Mexico.\u201d Meanwhile, the US committed to curbing the flow of high-powered weaponry to Mexico.<\/p>\n

China is still in the fray<\/strong>, however, as 10% tariffs are still set to take effect within a few hours. Trump is to speak with China\u2019s Xi Jinping this week to reach an agreement, otherwise \u201ctariffs are going to go substantially higher,\u201d Trump said yesterday. (NYTimes<\/a> | FT<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | The Guardian<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Trump also signed an executive order yesterday to establish a sovereign wealth fund<\/strong>, with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying we could see the US fund created within a year. The proposed fund could strike partnerships with \u201cvery wealthy people\u201d and help finance the purchase of TikTok from China\u2019s ByteDance, with an eventual target to rival investments deployed by big players like Saudi Arabia. (Bloomberg<\/a> | BBC<\/a> | Associated Press<\/a>)<\/p>\n
